Best answer
Correct Answer - B
The electrosatic `P.E.` is zero when the electron and proton are far apart from each other. Work done in pulling electron and proton far away from each other is
`W = E_(f) - E_(i) = 0 - E_(i) =- (-(13.6)/(n^(2))eV)`
`rArr W = (13.6)/((2)^(2)) xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19) J`
`3.4 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19) J`
